Compare And Contrast The Jumping Tree And The Ravine

247 Words1 Page

There are two stories I’ve read, “The Jumping Tree” and “The Ravine”. Both stories involved jumping from a dangerous height. The two main characters, Vinny and Rey, had to make a decision. I think Vinny made the best decision because he didn’t jump, unlike Rey. One reason I think Vinny made the best decision is because he was brave.

    He is able to do this by moral motivation and knowing what is right to do for the best outcome. The narrator says, “I thought long and hard for us all--my only swerving---then pushed her over the edge into the river.” (line 17-18). Although this is a tough thing to do for anybody this is significant what the author did because the amount of lives that could have gotten hurt to one life is a clear decision over which is more important. In both of the texts, they both experienced a similar dilemma, and used moral motivation to do what was best for the situation by weighing the consequences of each action.

    Jon Krakauer has a high amount of respect for Christopher J. McCandless; not only because they have many similarities, but because McCandless searched deep for the meaning of life and did as he pleased. In the book, “Into The Wild,” Krakauer not only tells the story of McCandless, but also of his own life, and how he has been shaped into his own. Krakauer had a deep love for the wild, just as Chris did. Though, the two did not do the same things, they both pursued their passions which made it easier for Krakauer to relate to Chris.

    The cool, upland air, flooding through the everlasting branches of the lively tree, as it casts a vague shadow onto the grasses ' fine green. Fresh sunlight penetrates through the branches of the tree, illuminating perfect spheres of water upon its green wands. My numb and almost transparent feet are blanketed by the sweetness of the scene, as the sunlight paints my lips red, my hair ebony, and my eyes honey-like. The noon sunlight acts as a HD camera, telling no lies, in the world in which shadows of truth are the harshest, revealing every flaw in the sight, like a toddler carrying his very first camera, taking pictures of whatever he sees. My head looks down at the sight of my cold and lifeless feet, before making its way up to the reaching arms of an infatuating tree, glowing brightly virescent at the edges of the trunk, inviting a soothing, tingling sensation to my soul.
